How did the government of the Roman Republic become more democratic in its decision making?
The Romans government became more democratic by the revolt of the Plebeians. The Patricians' strangle hold on power was broken and the Plebeians gained rights. These rights were written, and referred to as the Laws of the Twelve Tables.
What does the law whatever the people had last ordained should be held as binding by law mean?
This comes from the Ancient Roman Twelve Tables of Law, one of the first attempts in Rome to establish a code of law that gave the common people (Plebeians) some rights. Previously, only the Patricians (upper class) had decision-making power and controlled the legal system. In this quote, at the end of the code, it basically says that whatever the majority of the common people have agreed upon up to this point, it shall be considered the law. The quote implies that at some point, things may change; but for now, whatever the law has been up to that time, it remains binding on everyone.
